ripped_fear Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Afternoon all, I have been looking for a new top rad hose for my NA for a while now, preferably I wanted a metal one but these seem impossible to source. Then I stumbled on this picture, now I know its not a supra, it is in fact a lexus, but it is a 2JZ GE so would the top rad hoses be the same? Not sure if the length will be different or not but amusing they are the same length has anyone ever found a place to purchase such item, as the best I can find is the Wifbitz silicone ones and like I say I was hoping to find a metal one. Any help much appreciated. Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Rad hose on a supra is on the right hand side of the engine so doubt that would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Rad hose on a supra is on the right hand side of the engine so doubt that would work... It's on the left on an N/A buddy! Only way I can think you would get one, would be to have it made. however if that car is on a forum, maybe Pm the owner and ask where they got it?

Yeah custom is an option and im going to an auto shop soon to get a quote on a few bits so i will ask then, just though if someone had seen them online for sale I would give them a go. Im sure that car is on a forum somwhere but no idea what one, just stumbled on the pic so didnt get any usefull info with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Cheapest way to do it, would be to buy some bits of aluminium pipe in the right diameter(eBay). 34mm ID I think?! Then cut 'em to fit yourself and have a local company weld them up and maybe sand and polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ok bumping this thread from way back. Anyone know of anywhere I could get one made? Got lots going on under the bonnet and this would finish it right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You need to make sure you incorporate a decent bit of flexible hose somewhere to avoid over time cracking the pipe or top of the radiator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 it would be don't the same a tt style top hard pipe I guess. Some silocone hosing clamped on either end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
